I really want to give 3.5 stars, but I gave 4 with the hopes that our next visit will be just a touch better. What we loved: -the decor -Zoe at the hostess stand. Omg she was amazing! Why isn't she waiting tables?! -Aside our server, the waitstaff was doting, friendly and fantastic -the menu options -the food was delicious What we didn't love: -Our server was a drag. So disappointing when our experience with everyone else was so great! -It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine.. when food is delivered to my young children and they're told "don't touch the plate! The plate is VERY hot!".. well WTH? Why aren't they putting kids food on cold/room temp plates?! Common sense people! read more

Ever since I heard that this place was opening, I've been anxious to check it out. It was a cold and snowy Saturday night on a holiday weekend, so we figured the crowd would be light. That was a bad assumption. I read other Yelp reviews that mentioned that they took call aheads, so we tried that - apparently they don't do that on Friday or Saturday nights. They did tell us that there wasn't a wait, and it was relatively early, so we headed over. By the time we got there, there was a 20 minute wait. The hostesses seemed a bit overwhelmed and didn't seem to be doing a great job managing the growing crowd. At one point they told us we were next, and then we saw them proceed to seat several tables ahead of us. When we questioned it, they claimed that they signaled our pager and we didn't respond, which was a complete lie because we were holding it the whole time (in addition to the fact that we were never more than 10 feet away from the hostess stand). (That whole paragraph is the reason I subtracted the star). When we stepped into the dining area, we liked what we saw. It is quite a spacious place, and it looks like they have a patio area that will provide even more seating in nice weather. They advertise "20+ flat screens", but surprisingly the execution of this is not as obnoxious as it sounds (and yes, my daughter counted them). Most seats are in view of several screens, but it is less overwhelming than the feeling you get in a Buffalo Wild Wings. Now, the important part - the food and drinks. Let's start with the drinks, since that's where the "yard" part of their name comes into play. They promote the size of their draft beer selection, which was quite large. The part that surprised me was that it included a lot of the old standards (Bud, Coors, etc.) - nothing wrong with that, but I have become so accustomed to places having nothing but small brewery craft beers that I didn't expect it. It struck me that this was the "chain" part of this place's DNA coming through - I suspect they have a similar beer menu across the country. Regardless, I found a Hawaiian blonde ale that I had never tried before, and it was quite good. The food menu is...HUGE. The upside of our long wait was that we had time to study the menu, so we were prepared when we got to the table. My wife and I started with side Caesar salads. They were quite good, but a little too large for a side, in our opinion. For my entree, I had the lobster and shrimp agnolotti. It was very good, with generous portions of lobster. My wife had the mac and cheese, which also looked quite tasty. My daughter opted for the black truffle cheeseburger and she really enjoyed it. I also don't want to forget to mention that our server, Kourtney, was very friendly and attentive through our visit. This is another nice addition to the Troy casual dining scene...and I'm glad it's not another steakhouse! We will definitely be back! read more

Ay chihuahua! Boy is this place EXPENSIVE! I don't mind paying high prices for gourmet food, but this is chain-type restaurant food at Michelin star restaurant prices. (Except the burgers and sandwiches; those are in the $11-$14 range.) I came here for lunch the 2nd day they were open. Ran pretty smoothly considering. Nice comfortable decor and atmosphere. Food was tasty. HUGE menu. And you know what chef Ramsey would say about that on Kitchen Nightmares. They have everything from raw fish (poke) to pizza. Lots of interesting dishes. Tough to do such a huge menu right. Lunch menu: kind of small and masterful in the unreasonably deceptive up-charge. $10 gets you a soup or salad and either a pizza, half sandwich, or 1 taco. (Some other items too). So let me explain the deceptive up-charge. If you want a cup of the chicken tortilla soup instead of the other 2, there is a $2 up-charge. But on the regular menu, a bowl is only $1 more! So why is a bowl $1 more, but a cup $2 more? So now the $10 lunch is $12. But wait! There's more! If you want to get the single vampire taco instead of the other choices, it's a buck and a half more! But, on the regular menu, 2 vampire tacos are about a buck and a quarter more. So now the $10 lunch is $13.50. Here is what I don't like: the lunch menu up-charge is not proportionate to the regular menu pricing. One vampire taco should be 75 cents more and the soup maybe 25 cents more (I can't do the exact math as I do not know the volume of soup in a bowl vs. cup). This does not sit right with me. Seems dishonest. We also looked at the drink menu. I don't know beer prices, but their wine and cocktail prices seemed fairly outrageous. Everyone at the table commented on how pricey the menu was. Much of the lunch conversation was a comparison of other local new restaurants and their pricing. We walked out feeling this place is nice, but just not worth the money. read more

Yard House has happy hour from Monday - Friday from 3PM-6PM and late night happy hour from Sundays - Wednesdays from 10PM til close. They offer 1/2 off select apps and all pizzas. We came here for a friend's birthday during lunch time right when they opened to it wasn't too busy, so we got seated right away. Once it got closer to 1PM, it was getting really busy. Our waitress was very friendly, a little on the slower side to come back to our table, but seeing that this establishment is fairly new, I won't count my reviews against that. The restaurant is a great new space, unique paintings on the wall, large selections of tap (100+ beers), and TVs everywhere. We sat inside at one of the booths along the wall and it was really large and comfortable. Now, why 3 stars? They have a HUGE menu selection. Everything from sushi, poke, nachos, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, pasta, steak, seafood, soups, salads, tacos and probably some more that I missed. Are they trying to cover everything to cover all grounds for every kind of eater? I did find it interesting that they have a section of the menu dedicated to Gardein dishes. If not many people are familiar, its a product line that does meat free alternatives. It seems quite excessive. I would be more impressed if they had less food options and do them better. Also, priced pretty high. For tacos, you're looking at more than $4 per taco. Sandwiches and burgers are more than $13. So you can imagine everything else priced even higher. For the table, we got the poke nachos to share. The chips were thin and crispy so I liked that. The tuna was quite flavorful but didn't have much. I got the lobster & shrimp agnolotti. It was suppose to be seafood stuffed pasta topped with lobster meat and jumbo shrimp in a lemongrass lobster sauce. Agnolotti is similar to a ravioli however, this wasn't as thick or filled. The filling tasted like a paste, not much seafood taste. The sauce was super creamy, lacked the lemongrass lobster I was hoping for. My boyfriend got the Nashville hot chicken that came with sweet potato pancakes, and a honey hot sauce. The chicken wasn't hot and spicy like we expected. They used a really thin chicken breast of some sort which ended up drying out the chicken. The honey hot sauce was a good addition. It was more like a syrup that you can pour onto the chicken. That gave it the nice kick we were looking for. I may come back one day for happy hour to try more of their appetizers and pizzas. As exciting it is to get another new restaurant in the Troy area, it lacks originality, and diversity. There are so many places opening up in the Troy area on Big Beaver but it's quite similar the other existing places that is already there. For example, Granite City Food & Brewery and Sedona Taphouse. read more

I typically try and avoid places that are new since they usually have kinks to work out early on but nevertheless tried this place out last night. Pros: - Nice décor and ambiance. I really loved the beer kegs illuminated with blue lights up above. - We were seated in what I assume will be the outdoor patio during the summer. Was much quieter and more comfortable than the main dining room. - Food was pretty good. Got a complimentary appetizer due to our wait and opted for the fried mac n cheese bites which were very tasty and not overly greasy. For my meal I got the Lamb Burger which was perfectly cooked and a nice change of pace from a typical hamburger. - Huge beer selection. They claim it's the world's largest selection of draft beer, but I question that as I have been to several other establishments throughout the country with similar offerings. Cons: - Wait time for a table was grossly misquoted. Were told 20 minutes and it turned into over an hour. Despite this, there were an abnormal number of empty tables that never had anyone at them the entire time we waited. In general, they seemed understaffed across all areas. - Beer is WAY overpriced. $5.50 for a pint of Bud Light? I don't mind paying a premium for imported/craft brews but their prices for basic domestic brews were absurd. - Staff was not overly familiar with the beer selection. This was the case with both our server and a bartender. For a place that advertises beer so prominently I expected more knowledge and ability to make recommendations. - Way too many empty kegs. Asked the bartender for an IPA recommendation and he listed off 4-5 that they were out of. Again, I understand it's a new place but just because a place is new doesn't mean you should accept mediocrity either.I think a lot of these negatives can be addressed as time goes on and I will definitely give them another chance once the "newness" wears off. read more

Went here on a Friday night and like most new restaurants there was a 45 minute wait. Usually I wouldn't wait, however, we were meeting people there so we had some drinks at the bar. It was very open and lots of room to stand without getting bumped into, not uncomfortable. Nice decor with lots of TVs tuned to a variety of channels. The music they played was loud. But the tunes they played were good and you could still have a conversation without yelling. They have a HUGE selection of draft beers and getting a drink was relatively easy despite the crowd. This would be a great place to watch a game with friends. But dinner.....meh. The place was packed so service was slow, but not bad. The food on the other hand was not the greatest. They had a large menu of typical bar food with some more elaborate entrees. I took this place for what it was and ordered the vampire tacos and an asada taco. They were nothing special. Truffle fries were OK too. Coconut shrimp appetizer was good. Wanted the cheese curds but they were out of them. I love cheese curds!!! Oh well. My beef with this place was that the food isn't my type, and not very tasty regardless, and we were there for 3+ hours for dinner. I'd return however to watch a game as the TVs everywhere are nice. read more

Big disappointment. Here's a summary of the good and bad. Good: - attractive restaurant with great ambiance - plenty of parking - service staff very attentative Bad - Extremely long wait. Checked in on a Saturday at 6:15p and waited 2 hours to be seated. They don't take reservations or use No Wait like apps. - Food average at best and very pricey. Our party had the cauliflower and cheese curds appetizers, meat pizza, chicken, burger, and fish & chips dinners, and the mini peach cobbler and smores brownie. - Drinks were fine, but also expensive ~$6.75 a beer, $10.00+ for mixed drinks. We won't be back. read more

Zoe the hostess was very personable . We loved her attitude. She seated us in the outdoor area. Such a beautiful area lots of room. Very kid friendly. Lots to choose from on the menu. Great for groups. read more

Typical chain bar food! Not bad for lunch/dinner with your friends but nothing too fancy. Average food and service!

First, Danuelle was/is a great waiter. The tip, as it should, was representative of his service. The food runners bring soup likely knowing the place settings do not have ... spoons. They bring out an ice cream sundae ... wait for it ... without a spoon. Each meal had chicken tortilla soup and ... you guessed it ... no spoons. Brilliant! We got the queso app and the tortillas were the consistency of chips; they snapped in half. It would have been better to just bring a plate of chips. When we arrived, the hostess sat us in the naughty section, in the back, away from all TVs. However, there was a ceiling fan on HYPER-speed that kept us cool(er) on this 42 degree day, by the garage door and apparent employee exit. The kicker ... 2 adult means and a children's butter noodles came to $100 (with tip). read more

I have been to Yard House several times in both California and Hawaii so I wanted to see if it was any different over here in Troy Michigan. I'm usually pretty biased when it comes to what I want to eat at Yard House. I usually eat the miso Seabass because it actually taste better than most high end restaurants that serve Seabass. So this time instead of getting Seabass I decided to get their Nashville hot chicken. I don't know if it's I've never seen on their menu or this is something special they do in Troy. I'll have to check when I get back home. This was a very tasty crispy chicken that was served with two small but fluffy pancakes. The chicken had such a succulent taste and it chilled really well with the mini pancakes. Priced for about $17, you can't go wrong with trying this out. I'm going to have to keep this one in the rotation if they serve this at all of their restaurants. read more

Yard House - Nashville Hot Chicken (Featured) - New American Near Me - Troy, Michigan

This would be a great place to go for just drinks. Fun sports bar atmosphere. It has large TVs everywhere and lots of seating. Food was decent which is why it gets 3 stars. We ordered the truffle fries which had no truffle flavor to them whatsoever. We also both ordered the Caesar salad, however I found bits of egg in mine and my friend found corn in hers. We were able to sit for a while and chat without being bothered which was nice and the staff was extremely friendly throughout our visit. I would definitely come here again, but just maybe plan to have dinner somewhere else beforehand. read more

I like the way this bar looks inside and they play good music, but I'd say overall it's average. Drinks are really pricy for what you get (but delicious). Going during happy hour might be the smart thing to do. The food was so/so. It was fresh, but nothing to write home about. The service wasn't the greatest either; our server went from being extremely eager for us to order to extremely inattentive. We probably would have spent a lot more if we were checked on though, so maybe I should be saying thank you. read more

Service and food is pretty good. The price was very acceptable especially for the amount of food you get. It's a restaurant that I would definitely recommend and visit regularly. My husband loves the wing appetizer with a side salad. read more

I came to Yard House for the first time and was greeted by the nicest Hostess named Charlotte. Very kind lady! Usually don't get much treatment from a hostess but Charlotte treated us like we were waking into her home. She took us to a table and saw a small spot on the table and immediately cleaned it for us apologizing for the spot. So nice to walk into a place and have a hostess be so kind. Dan was our waiter. Also very kind and patient. Food was great and service amazing. I will definitely come back! Hope these 2 employees get a special award for great customer service! Thank you Yard House! read more

Yard House - Center Bar area - New American Near Me - Troy, Michigan

I know this restaurant is newer and working out the kinks but, I have to say, I was pretty disappointed. Atmosphere: loud. If you're looking for a restaurant that you can actually hear your dining companions (or the wait staff for that matter) this isn't it. Food: Meh. I ordered the Baja Shrimp Tacos with a side of their spicy rice and beans. The tacos were good-the rice horrible and the beans marginal, at best. Service: Good. They were clearly short staffed based on the amount of open tables available and the large crowd of folks waiting for a table. Our waitress was fine but she had a hard time hearing us as we tried to order (see atmosphere). She was very responsive though and had the sides taken off our bill when we complained about the rice and beans. read more

My first time at a Yard House and first Yard House in the state. I will definitely be back. I was debating between the Poke nachos and the Poke bowl. I ended up trying the Poke bowl which was outstanding. The truffle fries were delicious too. The Hawaiian mule is now my favorite. Service was spot-on. Parking lot can get busy- although there is a structure if you don't mind a little walk. There's patio seating which will be nice - when summer comes back to MI lol. I can't wait to come back for happy hour! read more

This place is the worst of the worst they are very rude to people they lie to you to keep you there waiting for a table then the food is not good at all I don't see why people are crazy about this place the only thing I believe that is keeping them from going under is that they are in Troy, Michigan I give them another year and they doors will be closed at this location the manager at this location he playing a game that going to come and BITE him in the ASK what a fool but keep treating your customers like you food is their fix really who does that to people but Karma is real you put it out there and it will come back to you but not the way you will like read more

I'm not sure how to say this but my experience was equivalent to soaking wet socks where your feet feel like a swamp. however, it did get better as other bartenders were fantastic! They went above and beyond. Seemed to be picking up a lot of the slack for the one bartender (I think her name is Ariel or a mermaid name or maybe something else) overall I'll be back, just not if she's behind the bar. read more

I recently moved from Los Angeles to Detroit within the past 3 months. In LA, my girlfriend and I frequented Yardhouse due to the great service and top notch food. I can't recall a single instance where I had a bad experience, nor heard anything bad from my peers. BUT this one HAS to step their game up ASAP. The service was very slow and the servers seem to be a bit inexperienced (at least ours). I understand that it is only the beginning, but you can only make a first impression once... so make it count. My company made a reservation for 14 and were seated immediately on arrival! Our water was served to us as soon as we sat down and within minutes our orders were taken... Although most of our group enjoyed their meals, it took about 45-55 minutes for our food to actually come out. There were a few hiccups with our orders, but management made it up by comping our whole meal... which we are EXTREMELY GRATEFUL.... I will be going back, but I know some of my co-workers were turned off by their first experience. I hope management takes this opportunity to push their servers to prioritize better. The food is great... They just need the quality service to give their customer's a quality experience. Best of luck, read more

Our group of 4 was seated relatively quick having to wait only a few minutes at 7:30 on a Sunday night. Our waiter took an extremely long time between getting waters. We placed an appetizer order and later we gave our dinner order, our salads came before our appetizers. I ordered a drink that never arrived, our waiter was absent often. The food was ok, fires on 2 orders were hard and luke warm, the rice on the other 2 orders were cold as well. Overall, dinner and service were not worth the time , roughly 1 hour, 30 minutes from start to finish. I would not recommend this location, other locations do a far better job of providing great food and service. read more

Overall, this was an OK place. The setting and food were excellent. However the service is too slow for lunchtime. I will come back and try them for dinner because I was happy with my meal overall, I just was not happy I had to spend over an hour there just to get a water and a salad. If you're going there for lunch, I do not recommend this place unless you plan to spend over an hour there - which most people can't afford such luxuries with their job. I've heard similar complaints from friends on Facebook about their slow service before I arrived, so there does seem to be a pattern. I'll come back for dinner and see what happens. As the standard speed of service for dinner is slower than it is for lunch. The setting overall has a very nice design and atmosphere. They have a variety of seating options to where you could come here as a couple or with some friends. I definitely would like to come back here in the summer time when it warms up. They offer a great array of variety of beers. I had their Cobb Salad. I was very happy with it. Ingredients tasted fresh. Overall a very nice combination of flavors. Being someone whom eats salads every day, from a variety of restaurants, I can say their salads are top notch. Overall, the food is the only reason I've kept this rating at a 3/5. If the food were not good, it would be a 1 or 2 star rating. read more

The hosts are sooo friendly! I can tell they put their best foot forward and try their best to accommodate all guests. Will be back to try their food. Was just their to grab a drink at the bar. 5 stars only because of the hostess. The bartenders could have been a little more friendlier and more attentive to getting me a drink. Thanks! Will update if I return. read more

This place has really gone hill. The food and service was on par with Chilis. However, Chilis has slightly better service expectations.

I've dined at many Yard House locations in the past and I've always received great service. However, during such challenging times, I decided to order curbside. I was completely blown away with the quality of service and food. This team did not disappoint with delivery consistency of their product and hospitality. read more
